Does anyone else feel like this occasionally? Like no matter what you do or which way you turn, the status quo never changes. At the moment I feel like this in so many areas of my life - at work, where I have 5 or so weeks to go before finishing up and I don't feel it's particularly my place to start any new projects; at home, where we are on another iteration of plans for the renovation (although I have been reliable informed that we are now really really close); on the baby front where we are constantly waiting waiting waiting...
I just want something to happen! It's really frustrating when you really feel like there is nothing you can do to make things move forward in any area of your life. And for someone who always likes to be busy and productive, it's the worst kind of place to be.
So - I have made a decision. Instead of waiting for things to happen to me, I am going to try and make them happen. My first project combines two areas of my life - job and home. Once I finish up here, my project is going to be working on the renovations pretty much full time. A kind of project manager, if you will (but without the technical expertise and ability). I'll work on materials, finishes and budgets with sign off from Mr Kitty. I'm hoping it's going to be fun and I know it's going to be a really steep learning curve, but I am okay with that. After 14 years of doing essentially the same thing, I am ready for a new challenge, and who knows, this might be a new addition to Miss Kitty's repetoire. A new string to my bow. A new chapter in my book. Yadda yadda.
At least it will keep me off the streets. And make me feel like I am moving forward in a few areas of my life!

Thanks lovely. You only deserve the best.
Onwards and upwards I say! And if anyone has any advice about tiles and paint finishes, I am all ears!

Are you a Grand Designs fan? Watch a series of that and then you will be the best Project Manager....goodluck!! :) Kimberley.
Hey Kimberley! Grand designs is my TV crack. I love it! I have learned so much from watching it already and think it's awesome... Hopefully I'll be a bit more realistic than they are though.
So now we just need to organise some site visits by Kevin ;)
I think wanting everything to be perfect and waitng for stuff in the future is a trap and leads to unhappiness. I am a big believer in living for the moment and trying not to worry about what I don't have and focussing on what I do have right now right this minute. Having said that I have very low expectations and it takes very little to make me happy (but it wasn't always like that for me). Good luck on the building and baby front.
